I’m a postdoc at NYU Stern School of Business, working under Yaqi Duan. Previously, I finished a PhD in Statistics at Columbia University, advised by Samory Kpotufe, followed by a brief postdoc there. I’m interested in statistical machine learning theory, reinforcement learning theory, and post-training for language model reasoning. Before grad school, I studied math at Stony Brook University and did research in combinatorics and geometric topology.
